Zen Archer

Pretty Bird with feathers falling pretty as a lady calling for her Pink and midnight lover as she stares into the water And a yellow moon is rising and there can’t be no disguising That the pretty bird is dying With a silver arrow lying at it’s side   [Chorus] Rivers of blood oceans of tears Life without death and death without reason [Verse] To the whole united nations To your greatest expectations To the moment that you realise as a dark figure steps from out of the shadows [Chorus] Pretty bird closes it’s eyes Pretty bird dies Another pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft of the zen archer [Verse] A man in parts forgotten with an outlook that is rotten And an attitude to match it finds relief inside a hatchet And he halved someone in Boulder Justifiability is in The hands of the beholder And you just don’t know what people will do next [Chorus] Mountains of pain valleys of love Death without life and life without meaning [Verse] To the promise kept and broken To the love that’s never spoken Just as surely as I’m in your ears a dark figure steps from out of the shadow [Chorus] Pretty bird closes it’s eyes Pretty bird dies Another pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft of the zen archer
